I've been waiting for the flames do die down before I jumped into the foray. I guess there is a certain segment that needs to vent themselves. Personally I would prefer to exchange anecdotal stuff back and forth and ignore the ignorant. So here goes. I got one of them skin lesians in the mouth. Sort of an internal herpes thing. Hurts like hell. Put some Golden Seal directly to the wound. Tasted terrible. It did reduce some of the swelling. Took some Feverfew for the pain. That worked nicely. Then took some of "Jack's Best Homebrew CS" and swirled it around in my mouth once an hour. All of the above resulted in no pain the next morning. Do I give a rats rumper crack as to why? Not! The beauty of wholistic medicine is that which works, works. I use magnets, cayenne, echinacea, CS, zinc, bee propolis, hands on stroking, reflexology, accupuncture, milk thistle, carrot juice and about a hundred other things to help folks. I like to relate that there are three types of patients: 1/3 can be cured, 1/3 won't be cured, and 1/3 can't be cured. The first group follows the instructions and gets well, the second group won't follow any direction, and the third group are approaching their time for leaving this earth and there is nothing you can do about the enevitableness of death. Dr. Christopher was the inovator of this opinion and I think it is true. As to folks that put filthy leucre in front of ethic and the rule of, "first, do no harm", they will get theirs one way or another. I like to think that each and every one of us will require help one day. If the baggage we bring along is good, then we will be cured. If it is bad, no amount of anything will help. Bad folks use up all their good vibes early on in life and when they really need 'em, it is too late. Take notice. One should not throw stones if one lives in a glass house.
